How did I know that this was coming? It's terrible. Atatiana nephew Zion told Police that when his aunt started hearing noises coming from outside, she got her handgun from out of her purse, something she had every right to do. Police did not identify themselves, something they should've done, even if the door was open, a simple yell through the door, "Police, show yourselves" would've been appropriate. What I do know for a fact that under Texas law Atatiana was in her right to defend herself, or will it become a thing now that even in our own homes we have no right to defend ourselves? allowing the intruder to avoid consequences. This is very dangerous. If this is the case mind as well revoke gun ownership right now.
This will now be a trend, I am saying it because I know what's about to happen. This is just a new way to kill. It also goes to show a lot of White Police Officers in particular shouldn't be cops anytime you're scared of a shadow. There are Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, etc serving in these Police Departments, but 99% of these shootings appears to be clear that White Police Officers are very scared and will shoot and ask questions later. Saying "sorry" will not bring Atatiana Jefferson back to life. She's gone forever.
So here's what we know so far;
Atatiana Jefferson, 28, was
playing video games with her 8-year-old nephew around 2:30 am on
Saturday when she heard sounds in her backyard, according to the warrant
for former Fort Worth Police Officer Aaron Dean's arrest for alleged
murder.
The noises were Dean, 34, and his partner moving around the back of
her home, without announcing their presence, after they were sent to
investigate why her front door was open.
Dean resigned on Monday before he could be fired for breaching a
string of police policies by shooting Jefferson dead with a single shot
through a bedroom window, according to Fort Worth Police Chief Ed Kraus.
Dean's attorney, Jim Lane, told
Fort Worth's NBC 5 television station his client "is sorry" for "the
tragedy" and his family "is in shock." Lane did not respond to a request
for further comment.
Dean was booked into the Tarrant County Correction Center on murder charges. He was later released on a $200,000 bond.
Like we've seen during the trial of Amber Guyger, somehow she became the victim. The victim family calling her actions a mistake, and the judge going as far as hugging her and giving her a bible. There's no doubt in my mind that this Police Officer will be painted as the victim who was afraid for his life, but what about Atatiana? did she not have a right to be afraid for hers as well? I am curious like everyone else to see what this trial going to be like. Will this former Officer be acquitted or will he get the minimum as well. Will there be hugs and bibles passed around too? I'll be sure to keep everyone updated.
